Belt pulley and method of making the same This invention relatesto an improved belt pulley 70 andto a method of making such a pulley.
Known belt pulleys generally comprise a hub having a perpheral groovefor receiving part of an endless beittherein that isto drivethe pulley or be driven thereby whereby the pulley is adapted to be rotated about its axis of rotation. The pulley may have a plurality of radially disposed fins exending outward lyfrom at least one side thereof. However, it is believed that no cover plate covers such fins so as to provide closed passages between the fins except at the inlets and outlets therof.
In the disc brake art. it is known to provide in the disc brake rotor a plurality of radially disposed passage means each provided with an inlet adjacent the hub of the brake rotor and an outlet adjaceritthe outer periphery of the brake rotor whereby fluid, typically air, passing through the passages from the inlets thereof to the outletsthereof will tend to cool the brake rotor as the brake rotor rotates aboutthe axis of the hub thereof, the passage means each being defined between a pair of radially disposed vanes.
It is one feature of this invention to provide an improved belt pulley having improved means for cooling the same.
In particular, it is known that belt life, particularly in high ratio or high load drives (including vehicle drives such as continuously variable transmissions and automotive accessory drives as well as industustrial type drivers) is limited largely by belt operating temperature.

Thecooling ofthe pulleyandlorthe beitasthe pulley rotates about the axis of the hub thereof has the 115 advantage of increasing the life of the belt.
For example, one embodiment of this invention provides a belt pulley having a hub and a peripheral groovefor receiving part of an endless beittherein that is to drive the pulley or be driven thereby whereby 120 the pulley is adapted to be rotated about the axis of the hub, the pulley having means defining at least one passage means provided with an inlet adjacent the hub and an outlet adjacent the peripheral groove wherebyfluid passing through the passage means from the inlet to the outlet thereof Will tend to cool the pulley andlor the belt as the pulley rotates about the axis of the h u b.

While the various features of this invention are hereinafter illustrated and described as providing a belt pulley of a particular motorvehicle engine, it is to be understood thatthe various features of this invention can be utilized singly of in any combination thereof to provide a belt pulleyfor other belt systems as desired.
Therefore, this invention is notto be limited to only the embodiments illustrated in the drawings, because the drawings are merely utilized to illustrate one of the wide variety of uses of this invention.
Referring nowto Figures 1 and 2, an automobile engine is generally indicated bythe reference numeral 20 and utilizes an endless power transmission belt 21 for driving a plurality of driven accessories as hereinafter setforth, the improved pulley of this invention being generally indicated bythe reference numeral 22 in Figures 3-5 and being adapted to be utilized to provide a cooling effect on the belt 21 in a manner herinafter setforth.
The endless power transmission belt 21 may be of any suitable type known in the art and is preferably made primarily of a polymeric material. The belt 21 in Figures 1 and 2 is of a generally rectangular cross- 2 GB 2 121 506 A 2 sectional configuration and has a bottom driving surface 2Vand a top driving surface 21---in a manner well known inthe art,the belt21 being ribbed or non-ribbed as desired.
However, it is to be understood that the various features of this invention as hereinafter setforth are adapted to operate on belt constructions having other cross-sectional configurations whereby the various embodiments of the pulleys of this invention illus- trated in Figures 3-12 are illustrated as providing pulleysfor beltsthat have a generally trapezoidal cross-sectional configuration as is well known for V-belt constructions with the understanding thatthe various pulleys of this invention can be modified in a mannerwell known in the ar-tto operate on belts of other cross-sectional configurations as desired.
The bett21 is driven by a pulley portion 23 of the pulley 22 of this invention which is operatively interconnected to the crankshaft of the engine 20 in a mannerwell known in the artwherebythe pulley 22 is 85 a driven sheave or pulley. The driving pulley 22 drives the belt 21 in an endless path and thereby drives a sheave or pulley24 of a power steering device used in an automobile (not shown) utilizing the engine 20, a sheave or pulley 25 of an engine water pump, a sheave 90 orpulley26ofanairpumpofatypeusedinan antipollution system forthe engine 20, a sheave or pulley 27 of an engine electrical alternator 28 and a sheave or pulley 30 of a compressor31 of an airconditioning system for the automobile utilizing the 95 engine 20. All of the driven accessories, through their sheaves or pulleys 24,25,26,27 and 30 impose a load onthebelt21 as is well known in the artwherebythe same impose a heating load to the belt 21, the driving 35 pulley 22 and engine 20 also imposing a heating load 100 tothebelt21 as iswell known in the art. as previously stated, it is one feature of this invention to provide the pulley 22 with means that tend to cool the belt21 during its operation. 40 In particular, the pulley 22 as illustrated in Figures 1-5 comprises a conventional pulley portion 23 and a ventilating device of this invention that is generally indicated bythe reference numeral 32 in the drawings and having a plurality of passage means passing 45 therethrough, each passage means being generally indicated by the reference numeral 33. The pulley portion 23 has opposed substantially parallel flatsides 34 and 35 and is provided with a hub 36 and a peripheral groove 37,the hub 36 being 50 adapted to be secured to a suitable drive or driven shaft38 in a mannerwell known in the artwhile the peripheral groove 37 is adapted to receive part of an endless transmission beittherein in a mannerwell known in the art which comprises the belt 21 inFigures 55 1 and2andaV-belt39inFigures3-5. The ventilating device 32 of this invention comprises a pair of substantially flat disklike plates 40 and 41 secured together with a plurality of substantially flat and radial [V extending vanes 42 disposed therebe60 tween and cooperating with the inner sides 43 and 44 of the plates 40 and 41 to define the plurality of radially disposed passages 33 with each passage 33 being disposed between an adjacent pairof vanes 42 and having an inlet45 adapted to be disposed adjacentthe 65 hub 36of the pulley 22 and an outlet46adaptedto be 130 disposed adjacent the peripheral groove 37 of the pulley 22 when the plate 41 of the ventilating device 32 is secured againstthe side 34 of the pulley portion 23 in the manner illustrated in Figures 3-5.
The plate 41 has a central opening 47 passing therethrough of a size and configuration to permitthe same to be secured to the drive of driven shaft 38 whilethe plate 40 has a largercentral opening 48 passing therethrough to provide an enlarged passage oropening leading to the inlets 45 of the passages 33 as illustrated in the drawings. Whilethe pulley portion 23 and ventilating device 32 can be formed of any suitable material, it is believed thatthe same should beformed of material having a high coefficient of threat conductivity, such as metallic material, in orderto optimizethe amount of cooling from the airflowing through the passages 33.
In particular, asthe pulley 22 is being rotated bythe belt 39 or is being rotated bythe shaft38 asthe case may be, it is believed that a centrifugal force is created through the rotation of the pulley 22 which will force an airflowthrough the passages 33thereof from the inlets 45thereof to the outlets 46thereof and thereby in much the same manner as a Venturi arrangement will causefresh airto continuously flow into the inlets 45 of the passages 33wherebythe constantflow of air through the opening 48 of the plate40 and through the passages 33 will through conduction cool the pulley 22 and, thus, cool the belt39 so thatthe pulley 22 provides a cooling effect on the belt39 in the operation of the system utilizing the pulley 22 and belt39, such asthe system illustrated in Figures 1 and 2.
While the vanes 42 could brformed separate from the plates 40 and 41 and be secured thereto in any suitable mannerthe pulley 22 is illustrated in Figures 3-5 as having the vanes 42 formed integrally in a one-piece mannerwith the plate 41 while the plate40 is subsequently secured to the vanes 42 as illustrated.
However, it isto be understood that other arrange- ments can be utilized to provide forthe airflow passages33.
For example, reference is now madeto Figure 6 wherein another pulley of this invention is generally indicated bythe reference numeral 22A and parts thereof similarto the pulley22 previously described are indicated by like reference numerals followed by the reference letter "A".
As illustrated in Figure 6, the pulley 22Acomprises the standard pulley portion 23A and a ventilating means 32A of this invention which comprises the plate 40A having thevanes 42A integral therewith and being adapted to be secured directlyto the side 34Aof the pulley 23without having the intervening plate 41 of the ventilating means 32 previously described.
If desired,the side 34 of the pulley 23 could have the vanes 42 integral therwith.
In particular, reference is now made to Figure 7 wherein another pulley of this invention is generally indicated by the reference numeral 22B and parts thereof similarto the pulleys 22 and 22A previously described are indicated by like reference numerals followed bythe reference letter "B".
As illustrated in Figure 7 itcan be seen thatthe pulley portion 23B hasthe plurality of vanes 42B integrally formed on the side 34B thereof and thatthe 3 plate 40B is adapted to be secured directly to the vanes 42B to form the passages 33B to function in the manner previously described forthe passages 33 of thepulley22.
While the various pulleys 22,22A and 22B each has a single peripheral groove 37,37A and 37B therein, it is understood thatthe various pulleys of this wherein another pulley of this invention is generally indicated by reference numeral 22C and parts thereof similarto the pulleys 22,22A and 22B previously described are indicated by like reference numeraisfollowed bythe reference letter "C".
As illustrated in Figures 8-10, the pulley 22C includes a plurality of pulley portions 23C disposed in axial aligned relation and having a plurality of ventilating means 32C of this invention arranged and secured therewithin in an alternating manner so that a ventilating unit 32C is disposed outboard of the pulley portions 23C at each end of the arrangement while a ventilating means 32C is disposed between each adjacent pair of pulley portions 23C as illustrated.
Additionally, a hub member 49 is disposed in and secured to the pulley portions 23C and is adapted to be splined or otherwisefixed to the drive or driven shaft 38C in any suitable manner, the hub member 49 having a plurality of grooves 50formed longitudinally along the same and each being adapted to be disposed in fluid communication with the venting devices 32Cthat are disposed intermediate the pulley portions 23C. In fact, the vanes 42C of the intermediate venting devices 32C of the pulley 22C can have the inner ends 51 thereof spaced from the hub 49 so that the grooves 50will be in full communication with all of the passages 33C of the devices 32C that are disposed intermediate the pulleys 23C as illustrated, the outboard ventilating devices 32C having the openings 47C and 48C thereof at least as large as the outer diameter of the hub 49 to assu re that passages 50 thereof will be in fluid communication with air outboard of the pulley 22C so as to be drawn therein bythe aforementioned centrifical action of the pulley 22C.
Whilethe various pulleys of this invention as previously described each hasthe passage means 33, 33A, 33B and 33C thereof formed by a plurality of vanes, it is to be understood thatthe various passages means could be formed by otherstructures as desired.
For example, reference is now madeto Figures 11 and 12 wherein another pulley of this invention is generally indicated by the reference numeral 22D and parts thereof similarto the other pulleys 22 and 22A 22B and 22C are indicated by like reference numerals followed bythe reference later M".
As illustrated in Figures 11 and 12,the pulley 22D comprises a conventional pulley portion 23D having a hub portion 36D adapted to be secured to a driven or driving shaft 38D in any suitable manner and has an outer peripheral g roove 37D for receiving part of an endless belt 39D therein, the pulley portion 23D having substantially parallel opposed sides 34D and 35D as previously setforth.
However, the pulley portion 23D is provided with a plurality of passages 33D that can be formed by drilling into the side wall 34D of the pulley 23D adjacent the hub 36D thereof at an angle so that the-same will GB 2 121 506 A 3 intersectwith the bottom annularsurface 52 of the pulley portion 23Dthat definesthe bottom of the peripheral groove 37Dthereof.
In this manner, each passage 33D has an inlet45D disposed adjacentthe hub 36D of the pulley portion 23D and an outlet4613 disposed adjacentthe peripheral groove 37Dthereofthe passages 33D being substantially radially disposed in the pulley231) and being substantially straight between the inlets 45D thereof and outlets 46Dthereof aswell as being substantially equallyspaced in a circumferential manner aboutthe pulley portion 23D in substantially the same mannerthatthe passages 33 are disposed equallyspaced in a circumferential manneraboutthe pulley22 previously described.
The passages 33D of the pulley221) operate in substantiallythe same manneras previouslydescribed for directing aflow of airtherethrough to cool the pulley 22D and,thus, the belt391D during rotation of the pulley 22D bythe aforementioned centrifugal action but additionally such air exciting the outlets 46D ofthe passages 33Dwill directlyflow againstthe bottom surface 53 of the be[t39Dto additionally cool the same in combination with the conduction cooling thereof caused bythe airflowthrough the passages 331).
Therefore, itcan be seen thatthe pulley 22D, in effect, is a vented hub arrangement whereas in the pulleys 22,22A, 22B and 22C, the same are, in effect, vented sidewall arrangements. Nevertheless, in both situations, airflow is created by centrifugal acceleration of a boundary layer dueto rotation and augmented by a Venturi effect asthe passages are swept through the airfastener atthe outer outlets than their inner inlets which are nearthe respective hubs.
In the case of the vented hub 36D of the pulley 2213, airflow cools the base of the belt and inhibits heat transferthrough the base of the pulley 22D from the shaft38D. Also, it can be seen that in the pulley 2213, the airflow into the peripheral groove 37D cools either or both pulleyfaces 34D and 35D and the belt 39D is additionally cooled by conduction.
While the pulleys 22,22A, 22B and 22D have been illustrated and described as having the respesctive ventilating passages 33,33A, 33B and 33D on one side thereof, it isto be understood that such passages 33, 33A, 33B and 33D could be on both sides thereof by like structure or different structure as desired, such as is illustrated in Figure 1 forthe pulley 22, and in the case of the pulley 331), the passages 33D from each side 34D and 35D thereof could be staggered relative to each other or could intersect each other, such as at the annular surface 52, as desired. Of cou rse, a combination of passages 33D and passages 33,33A and 33B cou 1d be provided or each pulley of this invention.
Also, if desired, air flow through the passage means of any of the pulleys of this invention could be augmented by mounting an external fan or blower adjacentthereto to additionally force air into the inlets of the passage means and, thus,through the passage means.
While the pulleys 22,22A, 22B and 22D have been illustrated and described as having the inletsforthe respective ventilating passages 33,33A,3313 and 33D 4 GB 2 121 506 A 4 adjacentthe respective hubsthereof whilethe outlets are respectively disposed adjacentthe respective peripheral groovesthereof, it isto be understood that thefluid flowthrough the passages33,33A, 33B and 33Dcould occurin a reverse direction therethrough.
Forexample,the pulleysystem could be mounted ina chamberthatis supplied fluid under pressurewhile the hub of the pulleyisvented tothe atmosphere orto a chamberhaving a lower pressure so that thefluid will flow in oppositon to the centrifugal force created bythe rotating pulleyfrom the outer peripheryof the passagestothe inner pressure while the hub ofthe pulley isventedtothe atmosphere orto achamber having a lowerpressure sothatthefluid will flow in opposition to the centrifugal force crdated bythe rotating pulleyfrom the outer periphery of the passagestothe inner periphery thereof forthe aforementioned cooling purposes. therefore, while theterms "iniet"and "outlet" have been previously utilized in the specification and in thefollowing claims 85 to designate the openings of the passages respective ly adjacentthe hub and peripheral groove of the -pulley, it isto be understood that the inletfor each passage means could be disposed adjacentthe peripheral groovewhilethe respective outletthereof 90 is disposed adjacentthe hubwhereby it is to be understoodthat in this description and in the follow ing claims,theterm "Inlet" can be substituted forthe word "outief'and the term "outlet" can be substi tuted forthe word "inlet" for each of the passage 95 means setforth herein.
It is also to be understood thatthrough suitable shaping or directing of the outlets of the passage means of the pulleys of this invention, the fluid leaving such outlets of the passage means can be directed to 100 directy engaged againstthe belt of the respective pulley so as to furthertend to cool the same. For example, suitable shrouding can be provided either integral with the pulley or separate therefrom for directing the flowfrom the outlets of the passages thereof directly againstthe belt operating with such pulley.
Therefore, it can be seen thatthis invention not only provides improved belt pulleys, but also this invention provides improved methods of making such belt pulleys.
